(anonymous) Top religious print or “canivet”, which is missing some pieces in the lower part, made entirely by hand, both the tip and the painted pattern
Measures: 7 x 11,5 cm.
This type of printing was produced from the 18th century, and are precursors prints mechanically made lace, which at the time tried to facilitate the production of puffs estampetes.
Although in France it is called "Canivet" to all the top prints (and in many cases inappropriately to prints without tip), the word Canivet (knife in French), should only be applied to these hand-made prints using the tip of a knife to cut out the figures on the paper
